This morning we took Claire to the airport and sent her on her way to a Grand Adventure. She’ll be living in Vienna, Austria for the next 3 months, learning and speaking German, eating delicious foods and soaking in music, art and culture. At her age, John was living in Switzerland and I had lived in Germany. There is Swiss and German blood in all of our veins and now it is Claire’s turn to begin to feel where she comes from. I am excited for the discoveries she’ll make, not just in the glorious things around her, but also in the heritage that flows in her heart and soul. I have always felt at home in that part of the world. I hope Claire will also feel that in many ways, she too, is coming home.
